Urinary tract infection
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query
It looks like you are suffering from urinary tract infection which has affected the kidneys as well, it is termed as pyelonephritis. Here is what you should do
1. Repeat urine routine and urine culture. Urine culture will tell us which bacteria is growing and which antibiotic it is sensitive to
2. Get an ultrasound of the kidneys done to see for abnormality like stones, obstruction ,etc
3. tab acetaminophen will help the cold and shivering
4. in urinary tract infection it is important to get a renal function test done to know if the kidneys are affected
5. keep a watch on the amount of urine you are passing per day and watch out for swelling of the feet. Passing less than 750 ml of urine and swelling of feet calls for admission and treatment with injectable antibiotics
I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me
